Here we address the fundamental question: are polaronic effects consequential for excitons in 2D-HIOPs? Based on our recent work, we argue that polaronic effects are manifested intrinsically in the exciton spectral structure, which is comprised of multiple non-degenerate resonances with constant inter-peak energy spacing. We highlight measurements of population and dephasing dynamics that point to the apparently deterministic role of polaronic effects in excitonic properties. We contend that an interplay of long-range and short-range exciton-lattice couplings give rise to exciton polarons, a character that fundamentally establishes their effective mass and radius, and consequently, their quantum dynamics.\u0026nbsp; Given this complexity, a fundamentally far-reaching issue is how Coulomb-mediated many-body interactions---elastic scattering such as excitation-induced dephasing, inelastic exciton bimolecular scattering, and multi-exciton binding---depend upon the specific exciton-lattice coupling within the structured excitation lineshape. We measure the intrinsic and density-dependent exciton dephasing rates of the multiple excitons and their dependence on temperature by means of two-dimensional coherent excitation spectroscopy. We find that diverse excitons display distinct intrinsic dephasing rates mediated by phonon scattering involving different effective phonons, and contrasting rates of exciton-exciton elastic scattering. These findings establish specifically the consequence of distinct lattice dressing on exciton many-body quantum dynamics, which critically define fundamental optical properties that underpin photonics and quantum optoelectronics.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003ECarlos Silva earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Minnesota in 1998 and was then a Postdoctoral Associate in the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.

The applications in rapidly growing computing domains of cloud and HPC exhibit significant diversity and require an increasing number of threads and much larger data transfers compared to applications of the past. In tandem, power and thermal constraints limit the number of transistors that can be used simultaneously, which has led to the Dark Silicon problem. Thus, it is becoming increasingly difficult to harness the full potential of computer chips.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis talk argues that there is a need for novel design and management approaches to push computing systems operation closer to their peak capacity and reclaim the dark silicon. Specifically, the talk will discuss how to use 2.5D integration technology with silicon photonic networks (PNoCs) to build (heterogeneous) computing systems that provide the desired parallelism, heterogeneity, and network bandwidth to handle the demands of the next-generation applications. At the core of this ambitious vision is designing modeling and optimization frameworks that are able to capture and tweak the complex cross-layer interactions among devices, architecture, applications, and their power\/thermal characteristics. Specific methods that will be highlighted in the talk include runtime management of applications and PNoC wavelengths, EDA methods that optimize placement \u0026amp; routing of PNoC systems with strong power and thermal awareness, and new architectures built with PNoCs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EAyse K.

Integrated Material Assessment and Predictive Simulation Laboratory (i-MAPS) at the University of South Carolina (UofSC) has significant thrust on acoustical biomimetic for various applications. The approach is primarily based on observation, modeling and fabrication. All applications are derived from natural acoustic processes that we tend to ignore but naturally developed in the mammalian body. Through observation of the mechanism, understanding of the physics is derived from modified optimized physics-based models. Upon confirmation, the systems are fabricated for testing and validation. a) Inspired by the human cochlea, which is a magnificent acoustic device, an artificial basilar membrane is fabricated for potential use as mechanical Fourier Transformer. The device has potential applications in artificial hearing aids and artificial hearing devices for efficient human-robot interactions in the future. b) Natural transport of medicine and molecules through blood-brain-barrier (BBB) is challenging, however, with the aid of acoustical perturbation it is found to have increased absorption. Through understanding the physical mechanism acoustically aided artificial BBB are researched with neural experiments in acoustically aided microfluidic system. c) The lab-on-a-chip devices are very effective in sensing different mechanical and physical parameters related to biosensing, irrespective of their field of application, but has noticeable limitations. The limitation comes mostly from the demands posed by the users in a simultaneous sensing and the actuation environment, employing mutually exclusive physics and mechanisms. To overcome such limitations, acoustic waves devices are proposed for both sensing and actuation in a single platform simultaneously. The physics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) is one valuable physics used in MEMS that gives SAW devices to cover a wide range of applications such as filters, oscillators, transformers, sensors and actuators for biosensing.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Sourav Banerjee is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of South Carolina (UofSC).

Our lab has discovered the unique cell biophysical phenomenon of convective intracellular macromolecule delivery using mechanically induced, transient cell volume exchange. Ultrafast microfluidic cell compressions are used to cause brief, deformation\u0026shy;induced cell volume loss followed by volume recovery through uptake of surrounding fluid. Macromolecules suspended in the surrounding fluid enter the cell on convective fluid currents. We harness this cell volume exchange behavior for high-throughput, convective intracellular delivery of large macromolecules, including plasmids (\u0026gt;10 kb) and particles (\u0026gt;30 nm), while maintaining high cell viability (\u0026gt;95%). Successful experiments in transfection and intracellular labeling demonstrate potential to overcome the most prohibitive challenges in intracellular delivery for cell engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInvestigating health effects of aerosol particles on single-cells in a high-throughput air-liquid interface platform --Jenni Li \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAir pollution and its detrimental health effects have been an increasingly alarming concern for the world. Cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and different types of cancers can all be linked to air pollution effects. Furthermore, over 4 million people die per year from the direct effects of ambient particulate matter. One conventional method for studying the health effects of aerosol particles is to collect particulate matter (PM) from the atmosphere, resuspend the PM in cell culture media, add the PM\/media to cell cultures, and assess single cell oxidative stress. However, this method does not resemble the in vivo conditions of alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages are found in the alveoli of the lungs where the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between blood and air takes place and are a key cell type that is affected by PM. In this project, we aim to create a microfluidic air-liquid interface environment that mimics how alveolar macrophages are exposed to PM in order to study effects of PM at a single-cell level. Utilizing a microfluidic platform provides uniform microenvironment and enables high-throughput and high content single-cell analysis for hundreds of cells. We adapted a previously developed microfluidic single-cell analysis technology and developed a method for exposing cells to an air-liquid interface. We then characterized cells by microscopy and LIVE\/DEAD staining to assess if cells remain viable during air exposure. Following this validation of the air-liquid interface platform, we will use it to study the single cell responses of intracellular reactive oxygen species in exposure to aerosol particles.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPlease RSVP at: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/forms.gle\/Dy3ND2XpFRqL5DmbA\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E https:\/\/forms.gle\/Dy3ND2XpFRqL5DmbA\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBlueJeans session: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/947188326\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/947188326\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"This seminars-plus-lunch program aims to catalyze scientific and cultural exchange between Georgia Tech students and 12 visiting undergrads from Japan.

However, new smart photonic and electronic plastics may yet rescue the reputation of this all-consuming 20th century material. Research into such functional plastics for cars and buildings could drastically reduce the need for air conditioning and, thus, improve their energy efficiency. We will present recent efforts to design new plastics of desired photonic and electronic functions targeted for a greener world. One line of our enquiry is to explore the potential of new polymer-based systems that can offer the same flexibility, softness and light weight as commodity plastics but can control the flow of light therefore assisting energy (light) harvesting, \u003Cem\u003Ee.g\u003C\/em\u003E., of photovoltaic devices, or light out-coupling from light-emitting diodes. Other opportunities for such systems include photonic heat mirrors that can prevent undesired heat built up of solar cells limiting performance degradation during operation of the cells.

We evaluate cell stiffness as a biomarker for isolating of cancer cells and subtypes of cells. In this case, the heterogeneity of cancer cells can be reduced through rapid label-free isolation and sorting to improve our understanding of invasive or drug-resistant subpopulations. Microfluidic channels are designed that reposition flowing cells in proportion to important biomechanical properties of stiffness, size, and adhesion. The repositioned cells are then collected at the outlets. We demonstrate three examples of how this sorting process can be used to collect invasive ovarian cancer, drug resistant leukemia, and purer stem cell cultures.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Todd Sulchek conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of biomechanics.

Recent progress in the development of miniaturized high-Q microresonators has resulted in orders of magnitude reduction in the size of functional integrated photonic structures.

Despite impressive progress in Si-based and SiN-based integrated photonics, neither substrate alone can be used for practical applications. Si (despite its good reconfigurability) suffers from strong nonlinear effects (especially at high light intensities) and relatively large free-carrier loss while SiN (with one order of magnitude lower loss and lower nonlinearity compared to Si) is very hard to tune. Thus, a reliable material system that combines ultra-loss-loss and high power handling with efficient and fast reconfigurability is of high demand in integrated nanophotonics.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, the recent achievements in the development and optimization of hybrid multi-layer CMOS-compatible material systems (e.g., SiN\/Si, multi-layer Si\/SiO\u003Csub\u003E2\u003C\/sub\u003E, etc.) to address all the practical requirements of ultra-fast and ultra-compact integrated photonic structures will be discussed. Using these hybrid material systems, a series of ultra-compact and high-performance reconfigurable photonic devices and subsystems that are formed by using high Q resonators will be demonstrated.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all paradigm, the charge is for a particular profile to be fit to each patient, and for disease treatment (or wellness) strategies to then be tailored accordingly. Non-invasive physiological sensing and modulation can play an important role in this effort by augmenting existing research in \u2011omics and medical imaging towards better developing such personalized models for patients, and in continuously adjusting such models to optimize therapies in real-time to meet patients\u0026rsquo; changing needs. While in many instances the focus of such efforts is on disease treatment, optimizing performance for healthy individuals is also a compelling need. This talk will focus on my group\u0026rsquo;s research on non-invasive sensing of the sounds and vibrations of the body, with application to musculoskeletal and cardiovascular monitoring applications. In the first half of the talk, I will discuss our studies that are elucidating mechanisms behind the sounds of the knees, and particularly the characteristics of such sounds that change with acute injuries. We use miniature microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) air-based and piezoelectric contact microphones to capture joint sounds emitted during movement, then apply data analytics techniques to both visualize and quantify differences between healthy and injured knees. In the second half of the talk, I will describe our work studying the vibrations of the body in response to the heartbeat using modified weighing scales and wearable MEMS accelerometers. Our group has extensively studied the timings of such vibrations in relation to the electrophysiology of the heart, and how such timings change for patients with cardiovascular diseases during treatment. Ultimately, we envision that these technologies can enable personalized titration of care and optimization of performance to reduce injuries and rehabilitation time for athletes and soldiers, improve the quality of life for patients with heart disease, and reduce overall healthcare costs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiography:\u003C\/strong\u003E Omer Inan is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Adjunct Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech.

On the other hand, nanomaterials show promising potentials in medical imaging and gene\/drug delivery. Indeed, understanding the fundamental physics of the cell-nanomaterial interaction in the process of endocytosis is not only of paramount significance to the evaluation of beneficial and hazardous effects of nanotechnology but also to the medical applications such as gene\/drug delivery and medical imaging. In this talk, I would like to provide a novel way to explore the mechanics of cell-nanomaterial interactions via a systematic and multiscale computational methodology with a focus on the effects of surface properties and mechanical properties of particles on the particle uptake and release processes, and to establish effective guidelines for designing controllable drug delivery from the computational perspective.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Xianqiao Wang is an Associate Professor of College of Engineering and the director of the Computational Nano\/Bio-Mechanics Laboratory at the University of Georgia (UGA).

Also, the theoretical volumetric energy density of Zn-based batteries (e.g. Zn-air) is more than twice the one of conventional Li-ion batteries and is ~85% of Li-sulfur batteries. The above two advantages plus the abundance of zinc render Zn-based aqueous batteries attractive for large-scale energy storage (e.g. electric vehicle, grid-scale storage). However, the Zn anode in aqueous electrolyte is historically not deeply-rechargeable, which has to be addressed for broad application of Zn-based batteries. The root cause of the lack of rechargeability stems from the passivation of ZnO discharge product, and dissolution of zincate intermediate. In this talk, I will show a series of our recent efforts on addressing the rechargeability issue of aqueous Zn anodes via nanoscale material design.

Lifelong administration of exogenous insulin is a current mode of treatment, due to frequency of injection and precise dosing it remains a suboptimal treatment. Furthermore, this treatment fails to balance endocrine system and in prevention of severe complications associated with this disease. As immunotherapy approaches have remained unsuccessful, the only cure for T1D is transplantation of donor-derived pancreas or islets. However, donor scarcity, graft loss, and immune response to the foreign tissue are issues challenging this approach and limiting the number of patients who can benefit from such treatments. A recent estimate is that about 12,000 organ donors in the U.S. could potentially supply islets but that the number of donor preparations is likely only about 3,000 per year. This supply is unlikely to expand significantly in the future as a result b-cells replacement therapies are being considered as a means to treat T1D. Scientist are evaluating different sources of insulin-producing cells, including re-engineered human cells such as differentiated pluripotent stem cells and islets from other species.

It is not surprising perhaps, then, that biology uses a similar strategy. In this talk, I will describe how living tissues and cells make polymer brush-like structures to manage their interaction with each other and their surroundings. In particular, hyaluronan-rich glycocalyx will be a focus. Then I will demonstrate how we have hijacked the cell\u0026rsquo;s enzymatic machinery to generate spherical and planar interfaces with hyaluronan polymer brushes that are orders of magnitude thicker than typical brushes (\u0026gt;10 \u0026micro;m ). This unique brush technology provides new opportunities in a range of areas including biomaterials, lubrication, anti-biofilm interfaces, as well as fundamental studies of the glycocalyx and polymer physics.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Jennifer Curtis is an Associate Professor in the School of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology.

Hairy pads can be either wet or dry and, in most cases, they bear spatula-shaped tips that appeared independently in insects, arachnids and reptiles. Smooth pads are always wet and they usually possess different surface textures, of which the hexagonal one found in bush crickets, mushroom-tongued salamanders and tree frogs is the most striking. Inspired by the questions of what mechanisms are hidden behind the spectacular tribological performance of biological attachment systems and whether they can be used in technical applications, we mimic both spatula-bearing and hexagonally textured surfaces using elastomeric materials. Tested for adhesion and friction, biomimetic surfaces demonstrate a range of properties related to arresting and facilitation of relative motion. In spatula-inspired surface microstructures, these are directional adhesion and friction to load ratio of over 100, which can be used in clean, cheap and safe gripping mechanisms. In hexagonally patterned surfaces, we observe elimination of stick-slip instabilities, suppressing of hydroplaning and ability to tune friction from 50% to nearly 100% of that measured on a smooth reference, which may find application in systems ranging from syringes and hand prostheses on one hand to belt drives and submarine propeller shaft bearings on the other hand.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E: Dr. Michael Varenberg is an Assistant Professor in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech.

In this regard, several elegant methods based upon self-assembly have emerged, for example, self-directed self-assembly and electrostatic self-assembly. Dynamic self-assembly of nonvolatile solutes via irreversible solvent evaporation has been recognized as an extremely simple route to intriguing structures. However, these dissipative structures are often randomly organized. In this presentation, I will show two simple yet robust techniques based on very familiar \u201ccoffee ring\u201d phenomena to produce a large variety of intriguing structures (e.g., concentric rings, fingers, spokes, squares, triangular contour lines, ellipses, etc.) consisting of polymers or nanocrystals (NCs) with unprecedented regularity by allowing a drop of polymer or NC solution to evaporate in curve-on-flat geometries and two-parallel-plate geometry, respectively. These techniques, which dispense with the need for lithography and external fields, are fast and cost-effective. As such, they represent powerful strategies for creating highly structured, multifunctional materials and devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiography:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Zhiqun Lin is a Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech.

For nearly all film materials, patterns are generated by lithographic processes, followed by plasma etching. Plasmas or glow discharges are ionized gases that contain electrons, ions, neutral species and photons that promote chemical reactions and ensure that anisotropic etch profiles can be obtained. This tutorial will discuss the fundamental physics and chemistry of plasmas, plasma reactor configurations, unique properties of plasmas that allow thin film processing for a variety of applications, and approaches to control etch rates, profiles, and etch selectivity.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dennis W.

This new capability enables the spectroscopic characterization of microdomain-forming polymers at levels not previously possible.  Films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyheanoate) were solution cast on ZnSe prisms, followed by melting and annealing to generate spherulites of different sizes.  A tunable IR laser generating pulses of the order of 10 ns was used for excitation of the sample films.  Short duration thermal waves, due to infrared absorption, were studied by monitoring the resulting excitation of the contact resonance modes of the AFM cantilever.  Dramatic differences in the IR spectra are observed in the 1200-1300 cm-1 range as a function of position on a spatial scale of less than one micron.

While the AFM has the ability to measure a range of material properties including mechanical, electrical, magnetic and thermal, the technique has lacked the robust ability to characterize and identify unknown materials. Infrared spectroscopy is a benchmark technique routinely used in a broad range of sciences to characterize and identify materials on the basis of specific vibrational resonances of chemical bonds. Several AFM probe-based techniques have been used to beat the diffraction limit of conventional IR measurements, including near field optical techniques. Other IR techniques are based on measuring the local temperature rise from spectral absorption through the use of temperature-sensing probes integrated with conventional Fourier Transform IR (FTIR) spectrometers. To our knowledge, however, none of these techniques provide readily interpretable broadband IR spectroscopy with nanoscale resolution. We have successfully integrated the capabilities of AFM with IR spectroscopy to allow chemical characterization on the micro and nanoscale. The instrument employs a technique called photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) that uses an AFM probe to measure the local thermal expansion from IR light incident upon a sample.  This technique enables the ability to obtain a high quality IR spectrum at a selected point in an AFM image and\/or automatically map spectra at an array of points on a sample to enable chemical mapping. In addition, local mechanical and thermal properties can be obtained from the sample.  In this presentation, we will share the details of the measurement technique including application examples on polymer multilayers and blends, along with measurements on biological samples.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENano@Tech welcomes Roshan Shetty, co-founder of Anasys Instruments, on \u0022Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy using an AFM.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy using an AFM\u0022"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2011-01-05 12:10:35","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:40","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-01-11T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-01-11T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-01-11T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-01-11 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-01-11 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-01-11 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/anasysinstruments.com\/","title":"Anasys Instruments"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mirc.gatech.edu\/?q=content\/nanotech","title":"Nano@Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"2779","name":"AFM"},{"id":"4315","name":"nano@tech"},{"id":"107","name":"Nanotechnology"},{"id":"167397","name":"spectroscopy"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:katie.hutchison@mirc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EKatie Hutchinson\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-385-0814\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"91841":{"#nid":"91841","#data":{"type":"event","title":"(09-0303) Prof. John Peters, Montana State University","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProf. John Peters, Montana State University\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETBA\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBiochemistry Divisional Seminar\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:loren.williams@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Loren Williams\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-9752).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. John Peters, Montana State University\n\nTBA\n\nBiochemistry Divisional Seminar","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. John Peters, Montana State University"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2009-06-26 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:50:25","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2009-03-03T14:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2009-03-03T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2009-03-03T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2009-03-03 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2009-03-03 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2009-03-03 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chemistry.montana.edu\/people\/person.php?id=26","title":"Prof. John Peters, Montana State University"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1815","name":"optoelectronics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"49033":{"#nid":"49033","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Nano@Tech with Dr. Yiping Zhao","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENano@Tech welcomes Dr. Zhao, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Georgia, on \u0022Catalytic Nanomotors: Challenges and Opportunities.\u0022\n\n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you planning to attend, please \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.mirc.gatech.edu\/nanotech\/addparticipant.php?id=33\u0022\u003ERSVP\u003C\/a\u003E by Monday, January 25, 2010.\n \n\n\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe fabrication of integrated nanomachinary systems can enable break-through applications in nanoelectronics, photonics, bioengineering, and drug delivery or disease treatment.

The capability to modify the chemical properties of surfaces with nanoscale control can be beneficial in a wide range of applications.  Here a heated scanning probe tip is used to activate the local chemical deprotection of amine groups at the surface of a specially designed polymer, spin-coated on a substrate.  These amine groups are then converted into different functionalities using standard protocols and used for the subsequent attachment of nano-objects. We demonstrate that co-existing patterns of up to three different chemical species (amine, thiol, aldehyde, biotin) in independent and arbitrary designs can be obtained on the same surface by iteration of the writing and conversion steps.  Several strategies to attach proteins and DNA to the chemical nanopatterns are demonstrated, including the co-patterning of two bioactive proteins. This chemical nanopatterning approach uses heat transport and molecular recognition rather than mass transport to chemically functionalize surfaces and then attach nano-objects. This approach is therefore unique in its high-speed (\u0026gt; 1mm\/s with a single probe), flexibility in the substrate choice, and versatility in generating orthogonal functionalities on the same surface.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENano@Tech welcomes, Professor Seth Marder, director of the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics at Georgia Tech, on \u0022Tailoring the Properties of Interfaces with Organic Chemistry\u0022 as part of the educational seminar series.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Tailoring the Properties of Interfaces with Organic Chemistry\u0022"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-03-05 16:24:37","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:49:32","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-03-09T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2010-03-09T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-03-09T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-03-09 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-03-09 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-03-09 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cope.gatech.edu\/","title":"COPE"},{"url":"http:\/\/ww2.chemistry.gatech.edu\/groups\/marder\/website\/","title":"The Marder Research Group"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"2285","name":"nanolithography"},{"id":"107","name":"Nanotechnology"},{"id":"2768","name":"optics"},{"id":"4304","name":"organic chemistry"},{"id":"2290","name":"photonics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:Katie.Hutchison@mirc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EKatie Hutchinson\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E404-385-0814\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"90941":{"#nid":"90941","#data":{"type":"event","title":"(10-0430) Prof. Roman Boulatov, Univ of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProf. Roman Boulatov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EUnderstanding chemical reactivity with molecular force probes\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPhysical Chemistry Seminar Series\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe design, synthesize and study medium-size molecules to understand quantitatively how reaction rates change when the motion of atoms that convert reactants into products is coupled to directional motion at larger scales, from sub-um to mm. Such multiscale coupling is ubiquitous in Nature, underlying phenomena as diverse as fragmentation of polymers that contributes to failure of mechanically loaded materials, reactions in shear flows and at evolving interfaces and operation of motor proteins. Our objectives are two-fold: (1) to extend the formalism of the transition state theory to multiscale reactions and (2) to develop a general predictive framework to guide the design of new materials that exploit such coupling.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EConventionally, multiscale reaction dynamics has been studied using macromolecules but quantitative molecular interpretations of such experiments have proven challenging. Our approach exploits the fact that restoring force quantifies both multiscale coupling and molecular strain resulting from such coupling. Restoring force develops whenever an object of any size is distorted from its optimal geometry. Unlike strain energy, the relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the restoring force of the strained reactant(s) is an intrinsic property of the reaction landscape and is largely independent of the size of the molecule within which the reaction occurs. This property allows the effects of multiscale coupling on localized reactions to be inferred by studying much more tractable small molecules instead of polymers. To do so, we have developed molecular architectures to vary restoring forces of diverse functional groups in \u0026lt;30 pN increments up to ~600 pN. By applying this technique to mechanistically distinct reactions we have succeeded in the last 2 years in validating the two key postulates of chemomechanics that have eluded experimental tests for the past 50 years: (1) the activation barrier changes linearly with restoring force up to ~500 pN and (2) its sensitivity to force is controlled by a single atomic pair whose nature is determined by the reaction mechanism. These findings mean that to predict accurately rates of localized chemical reactions in mechanically loaded polymers, shear flows and other anisotropically stressed environments one only needs to know the readily accessible transition-state geometries of the free functional group (or monomer) and the degree of multiscale coupling (e.g., forces).\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGuided by these insights, we have designed molecules that fragment orthogonal to their restoring force axis and that become more stable to fragmentation in response to tensile force and demonstrated experimentally such counterintuitive responses. The availability of small simple molecules with diverse responses to tensile force and of general rules to guide the design of other such molecules opens up new opportunities for creating stress-responsive, actuating, energy-dissipating and \u0022smart-delivery\u0022 polymers that we and others are currently pursuing.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:melsayed@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Mostafa El-Sayed\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-0292).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Roman Boulatov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\nUnderstanding chemical reactivity with molecular force probes\n\nPhysical Chemistry Seminar Series","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Roman Boulatov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2010-02-04 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:48:23","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-04-30T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-04-30T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-04-30T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-04-30 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-04-30 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-04-30 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chemistry.illinois.edu\/faculty\/Roman_Boulatov.html","title":"Prof. Roman Boulatov, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1815","name":"optoelectronics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
